When I was little I had straight crushes. All of my crushes later became my close friends...and then I got a sex drive which didn't match. Then I stopped having straight crushes. So I came out to them, and they probably think it's a phase... Is it? BTW when I say crush I mean romance. Oh and my one close make friend was really confused by this. It was adorable (I have a crush on him). But that's another thread on its own.
